All will be right with the world on Friday night when Ken Griffey Jr. steps into a Seattle batter's box. Mariners fans with any amount of brain will be on their feet pounding their hands together a-smiling like the Joker, except us.

We don't know what the most scarring experience of your early 20s was-- a disastrous relationship, a lengthy illness, a deep body massage from these guys--but ours was suffering through the late innings of each and every 1997 Seattle Mariners game, as the washouts and has-beens the team collected for its bullpen found new and inventive methods of losing games. more ›

Seattlest once had a choice between Saturday and Sunday Mets games, and we chose Saturday because the schedule read "Free Mets Jersey Day." We thought to ourselves, "Score!"
